Our Vision:

Welcome to Vista Christian Fellowship. We are a "Market Place Ministry". In recognition of II Corinthians 5:17-19 each of us, as new creatures in Christ are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God with Jesus' ministry of reconciliation. Our church services reflect both this truth and Ephesians 4:12 in preparing each of us for "the work of the ministry." Sunday morning services follow this theme, primarily through the preaching/teaching of our Pastor Roger Friend. He has been serving as Senior Pastor of Vista Christian Fellowship for 28 years and has degrees from San Diego State University and the American Baptist Seminary of the West. In 1979 he united with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel receiving awards and being ordained by both Christian Organizations.

Our Wednesday Night Discipleship classes follow these two Scriptural truths, preparing Christians both with knowledge and practical application for Market Place Ministry. Then, on Friday Nights, our multicultural, bilingual services with Victory Outreach present Market Place Ministry in action through the breaking down of cultural walls and witnessing many people saved, delivered and built up through various ministry gifts

Each of these services, along with our Men's, Women's, Children and Youth ministries and our Thursday morning Men's and Women's Bible study/Prayer Meetings promote the "equipping of the Saints" for Market Place ministry. As a result, Vista Christian Fellowship members are involved in prison ministries, street evangelism, neighborhood home study outreaches and overseas ministries to Africa, Mexico, Central America, South America, Cuba and Spain. We encourage our members to bring the Kingdom of God to the Market Place, reaching out to others and bringing the ministry of Jesus into their lives. Join us and be part of a destiny fulfilling ministry!
